The Moon isn't even waiting its turn to shine

The Sun is so weak this time of year; it's brightest winter glare doesn't hold a candle to what it can do on a cloudy summer day. It can't even chase the Moon from the daytime sky. Click the image to enlarge.

There's gold in them thar clouds

The edge of this cloud bank brings to mind -- mine at least -- a rainbow, but I don't think "cloudbow" has a linguistic future. Click the images to enlarge them.

Another pink salmon sunset in the can

Only a person born and bred on the Prairies would be so small-minded as to compare a beautiful, vibrant, Vancouver sunset to the colour of canned salmon but there it is. These technicolor evening productions always make me feel small -- in a good way.

Sunset by a little-known landmark

I just know we're in for some awesome sunsets, and big harvest moons -- hopefully this will do for now. On the viewer's right is a special brick apartment building. For a long time, I thought it dated to 1938. Now, I've been told it was build sometime around 1910. The resident who told me that, went on to say it was built by a family who planned to make it a present to their son when he came back from "the war" -- the Great War; World War I. Unfortunately, I didn't find out if the son came back. There will be at least one more more post about this "Centenarian" building -- it has the coolest "back yard," and I'm told, inside there's a spiral staircase and stained glass skylight that has to be seen to be believed.
